More quotes by Judd Apatow
I'm just trying to be truthful and collaborate with people who have interesting things to say.
Judd Apatow
The only way you survive on all these services is if you're groundbreaking. There's pressure to be groundbreaking, which is the greatest thing that's ever happened. It's a bizarre aspect of what's happened with all of these subscription services is everyone is trying to outdo each other by doing great things.
Judd Apatow
I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.
Judd Apatow
Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.
Judd Apatow
I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.
Judd Apatow
I remember the Time review [on the Hit and Run]said that there wasn't one laugh in it. And I had watched the movie 50 times with audiences, and it always played great. There was certainly a moment where you could tell the audience was like, Wow, this is really getting weird.
Judd Apatow
I'm always talking to people. It's not that complicated. I just find somebody and say, Do you have any ideas. If they do, we just start thinking things around.
Judd Apatow
I used to scream at everybody at the beginning of my career. I'd get really emotional. I'd project all my issues about my parents and safety onto the executives, so every conversation where they gave a note was life or death and you don't love me.
Judd Apatow
In the writing, I'm just trying to go deeper, emotionally, and learn more about myself and reveal more and find a way to connect with people in new ways.
Judd Apatow
Nowadays, when kids decide they like an artist, they'll absorb everything that artist has ever done in a single night.
Judd Apatow
My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it.That's how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive.
Judd Apatow
Television is much more difficult because at every moment, the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You’re in a constant debate with a gun to your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it’s hard to win the arguments.
Judd Apatow
I literally cannot remember one joke.
Judd Apatow
If anything is leaking, I try to plug the hole.
Judd Apatow
Nobody's going to like my next movie because they liked Trainwreck [2015]. It has to work on its own, and that keeps it really scary.
Judd Apatow
I'm making a movie about relationships, and I'm surrounded by guys scared of talking to girls.
Judd Apatow
As a kid, I was obsessed with the Who. They were the most important band to me. Songs like I'm One helped me get through high school.
Judd Apatow
Back then, you seemed like a crazy person when you were trying to push the boundaries of network TV. People looked at you, and they were offended by the fact that you didn't follow the generic rules of what was expected on network TV.
Judd Apatow
I hear Amy Schumer on Howard Stern, and I think, I wish there was a movie that starred her, because she's so interesting, and then at some point I go, I guess I have to get involved, because it's not happening right now. Maybe I should help try to make that happen.
Judd Apatow
Back in the old days, everyone was shocked if a band had a sponsor for their tour. Now, Bob Dylan can do a commercial for Victoria's Secret and people don't really blink the Beatles' songs are in all sorts of commercials these days and it doesn't seem to offend anybody. The times are changing.
